Electrosurgery

Electrosurgery, which uses a radio surgery unit, is emerging as the next wave in gum contouring. The technology is very popular with neurosurgeons and cardiologists, and has recently moved into the dental arena. With electrosurgery, the cutting is done with a very low current so that there is no bleeding, no pain, and no protective dressing required to cover the area.

And it takes no time at all – Dr. Miller can contour the gum line. When he is finished contouring the gum line, the result is complete. The gums appear finished after the procedure.
